Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 114. Back to ground zero
Lilian POV I felt completely out of place, as if I was no longer welcome in that place. It was strange being there, in that apartment. That penthouse in the heart of Richmond had been chosen by him with such care, as if he already knew it would be our home. A home that now seemed so far away from me. When we entered, Finn was quick to guide us to the main floor. He smiled at the kids, who were excited about the idea of sleeping in a new place, and I tried to smile back, but something deep in my chest kept me from being genuine. The apartment was huge, the huge windows overlooked the illuminated city, and the decor was impeccable — minimalist, but with that cozy touch that has always enchanted me. But it was when we reached the children's hallway that my heart sank. There was the room, the room that Finn had prepared for them, with three beds, each decorated with fluffy duvet covers, toys scattered around and a mural on the wall with photos that hadn't been taken yet. It was all

Jensen POV When I finally set foot on the jet, my head was spinning. The whole way back, the only thing running through my mind was how I had let things get out of control like that. How was I able to throw everything we built away? This question echoed over and over again, accompanied by a constant pain in the chest, a weight that seemed to double every second. Once the plane landed, I wasted no time. I got in the car as quickly as I could and drove to the mansion. I was so focused that if someone had crossed my path, I wouldn't have even noticed. Likewise, I sped up without caring about the traffic or the safety signs. In my mind, nothing seemed to matter other than getting to Lilian and the kids. Finally, I opened the door to the house. A dead silence greeted me. An almost frightening emptiness. The soft sound of children's laughter and Lilian's perfume were absent. Everything felt... wrong. Very wrong. "Lillian!" I shouted, feeling my voice echo through the empty hallways.

Lilian POV The studio was the only place I could find peace, even if it was momentary. Between colorful fabrics, scattered patterns and doodles of new designs, I could immerse myself in what was still mine alone. But that day, work had to take a backseat. I had called Jensen for a chat. It was difficult to confront the memories. I still remembered the day he kneeled in front of me with that nervous smile, holding a small box with a ring that seemed to shine brighter than the light in the room. The marriage proposal seemed like something out of a dream. We both laughed, and everything seemed perfect... until we went to that nightclub. He arrived on time, as usual. He knocked on the door before entering and found me standing, leaning against the desk, arms crossed in a defensive gesture. I didn't know how to start, but something in the look in his eyes told me he already knew what was coming. “Thank you for calling me, Lilian,” Jensen began, trying to soften the weight that h

Lilian POV Jensen's gaze was insistent, almost desperate. I knew he wanted more than just words of comfort. He wanted something I wasn't sure I could give. But when he begged to see his children, I couldn't refuse. They had a right to see him. "Okay, Jensen," I sighed, tired of resisting. "But it will be in my apartment, and just for today. No scenes." "I promise, Lilian. I just want to see them. Nothing more." As soon as we arrived, I was already regretting giving in, but I tried to ignore the inconvenience. The kids were in the living room watching a cartoon, and I knew it would be a shock for them. I took a deep breath and called them. "Kids, come here. I have a surprise." Ruby was the first to look at the door. Your eyes widened when you saw Jensen standing there, holding his hands nervously. "Is it... is it, Daddy?" She asked, her voice almost a whisper. Ryan jumped to his feet, knocking his glass of juice onto the carpet. "Daddy!" Rory, however, crossed

Jensen POV It had been a while since I had dinner at Lilian's house. This idea had come from me; after all, it was important to enjoy moments with Ruby, Rory and Ryan, even if it meant facing a space that I no longer called home. As soon as I parked the car in front of the house, I saw lights on and heard laughter coming from inside. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door. It didn't take long for it to be opened by Rory, who gave me an enthusiastic smile. "Daddy! You're here!" he exclaimed, pulling my hand to let me in. Before she could respond, Ruby came running over, her hair bouncing. "Did you bring something for me?" he asked, eyes shining with expectation. Ryan appeared soon after, holding a toy car. He didn't say anything but smiled shyly as he walked over to hug me. "Hi, guys. I brought something, but only if you eat everything for dinner,", I joked, holding up the bag that contained some sweets. They started chatting at the same time, each telli

The word "pregnant" was still ringing in my head, but not in a pleasant way. The doctor had just told me the news, but I couldn't process it all. The baby Lilian was expecting... would it be mine? What did that mean? I thought things between us had started to get better, that we were finally finding our way back together. And then… everything changed. As I tried to organize my thoughts, hurried footsteps echoed in the hallway. I looked and saw Finn approaching quickly, with an air of urgency. What was he doing here? What did he want with Lilian? "Where is Lilian?" he asked, out of the blue, as if he had a right to know. I stared at him, discomfort growing inside me. "Why do you want to know?" I asked, trying to hide the anger in my voice. He smiled provocatively, without showing any sign of respect. "Because I want to see my girlfriend," he replied, and the words dropped like a bomb. Girlfriend? Lillian? How dare he? "You've got to be kidding," I snapped, feeling the a

Jensen POVI didn't know exactly how I got to that point. The hospital was the place where I should feel useful, close to Lilian, but everything was falling apart. The hallway was filled with tension, as if the air were heavier. Phillip, with his arms crossed, looked exasperated. April kept her gaze restless, moving from me to Finn, who still had that smug smile on his face. "Jensen, this has gone too far," Phillip said, stepping forward. "You need to calm down before this gets even more out of hand." "Do you think it's easy to stay calm?" I retorted, my voice sounding louder than it should have. "This idiot shows up here like he has the right to be near Lilian!" Finn took a step towards me, with that air of superiority that made my blood boil. He didn't seem worried. In fact, he seemed to feed off my anger. "Maybe because I have more rights than you," he said, with a cynical smile. "Lilian deserves someone who can measure up to her. Someone who hasn't destroyed her." "You d

April POVAs soon as I received the news that Lilian was in the hospital, I dropped everything I was doing and went straight there. My mind was racing, but what I found when I arrived was worse than any scenario I could imagine. Jensen and Finn were in the hallway, exchanging punches and shouting, while the children watched everything, scared. Ruby cried softly, holding onto Sadie's skirt. Rory was next to her, looking at the two men with wide eyes, while Ryan seemed frozen, not knowing what to do. "Both of you, stop now!" I shouted, running towards them. But it seemed like neither of them were willing to listen to me. Jensen pushed Finn against the wall but was soon hit by a punch in the stomach. "She's mine!" Jensen shouted, his voice hoarse with anger. "You're dreaming! Lilian already chose me, Jensen!" Finn retorted with a cruel smile. Before I could do anything, two hospital security guards arrived and forcibly separated them. "Enough! This is a hospital, not a figh

JensenThe restaurant was small and discreet, with soft lighting and the unmistakable smell of Italian food wafting through the air. I sat there, my head spinning and my nerves on edge. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the invitation gave me no choice: “I need to talk about Rome. Come alone; let's meet at Mamma Zu.”When she walked in, I couldn't hide the anger that rose in my throat. That red-haired woman. The woman I only knew as the one responsible for making my life hell. I stood up immediately, the table shaking with the impact of my abrupt movement. The other customers in the restaurant looked on curiously, but I didn't care. I just wanted to know what she had to say.I stared at her, not knowing what to feel. The anger, the disgust, everything seemed mixed up inside me. I had no idea how to react, but anger prevailed.“You!” My voice was louder than I wanted, drawing the attention of those at the surrounding tables. “You're the damn woman who destroyed everything!”She didn't
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 137. The beginning of a new love
Sadie POVThe wedding party was incredible. Everything seemed like something out of a fairy tale. The lights, the soft sound of music, people's laughter... It was as if everyone there was having the best day of their lives. I was busy, as always, taking care of the triplets. Ruby, Rory, and Ryan were so excited, running around.“Ms. Lilian, they are running again!" I warned, trying to keep my voice controlled, but she just smiled. “Sadie, you're doing an amazing job. Just relax a little and enjoy the party too, okay?”I nodded but remained attentive. Working for Mrs. Lilian was more than just a job. I liked them like they were my family. But that night, something different happened.As I ran after Ryan, who was trying to reach one of the sweets on the dessert table, I noticed a boy looking at me. He was standing on the other side of the room, with a smile that seemed a little shy and full of curiosity. He wasn't much older than me, maybe my age, or close to it.I felt my face heat up
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 136. It's a wedding party anyway
Lilian POVMy hand instinctively rested on my 9-week-old's belly as I admired the party. The dance floor was an organized chaos. The colored lights flashed over everyone, reflecting on the polished floor, while children ran from side to side, trying to imitate the adults' steps. Ruby led the steps, spinning with a smile of pure joy, and Rory tried hard to follow, imitating everything she did but with exaggerated animation. Ryan, of course, was in his own world, doing acrobatics and improvised dance moves with his arms raised as if he were preparing for a big show. "Ms. Lilian, have you ever thought about signing them up for a dance group?" Sadie commented from beside me, smiling as she watched the three of them. “If I can convince them to rehearse and behave at home, maybe,” I replied, with a soft smile. "Or at least Ryan," Sadie added, watching the boy with an amused expression. "He definitely seems like he has uncontrollable energy." “No doubt,” he said, laughing. "But it's
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 135. April's wedding
Lilian POVI was in the bridal room, holding hands with April, watching her with a look full of affection and admiration. She looked stunning in her wedding dress, with the veil delicately falling over her shoulders and the radiant smile that only she had. I felt a pang in my heart. We were there, together, in that special moment, but there was a touch of melancholy in her words."I really hoped you and Jensen were getting married too," April said, her eyes shining with a mix of joy and sadness. "You know, how we agreed... on Christmas Eve, together... I dreamed about this so much."I knew that the episode in Rome had ruined a lot of what we had planned. All of us, April, Phillip, Jensen and I, had been arguing for years about how much it would mean to get married together, but life had other plans. I wanted to say something to comfort her, but the words didn't come easily. Instead, I hugged her tightly."I know, honey. I know... But you and Phillip are here, and that's what matters r
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 134. This is much better than nothing
Jensen POVIn the last few days, my routine has completely changed. After work, I went straight to Lilian's house. I went there for the kids and also because being there gave me a sense of normalcy that I hadn't felt in years. Something about seeing the three of them running around the room, laughing and fighting, brought me a peace I didn't even know I needed. When I parked that afternoon, Ruby was the first to greet me. She opened the door before I even knocked, as if she knew I was there. "You're here, Daddy!" he exclaimed, jumping into my arms with so much energy that I almost lost my balance. "I'm here, my sunshine," I replied, laughing and lifting her into the air. "How was your day?" "Well... but Rory ate almost all of Mom's cookies, and now she's mad at him." "Really? Is he hiding again?" Ruby nodded with a knowing smile and pointed down the hall. "There in the room. I think he knows what he did wrong." Ryan appeared soon after, crossing his arms like a little ju
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 133. Let's do it again
Kate Nash POVThe door to my house slammed behind me with such force that it made the entrance frame rattle. The sound echoed, accompanying the throbbing in my head. I was on the verge of a breakdown. Jensen had dared to reject me once again, as if I meant nothing. I hurried across the room, throwing my bag on the couch, not caring where it landed. The normally spotless space felt oppressive at that moment. It all felt like a reminder that despite all my effort, nothing was working as it should. The bar was my immediate destination. My hands shook as I reached for the bottle of whiskey. The golden liquid glistened in the lamplight, almost mocking me. "After everything I've done," I muttered as I poured the alcohol into the crystal glass. The feeling of failure was suffocating. From the beginning, my goal was clear: to get Lilian away from Jensen and make sure he finally saw that I was the only one for him. But he remained blind, trapped in a ridiculous idea of morality and loy
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 132. I just want her and no one else
Jensen POVDriving home after talking to Lilian was like going through a storm. My hands on the steering wheel were tense, and my thoughts were a mess. I respected her decision, but that didn't mean it was easy to accept. I still loved Lilian deeply, and the idea that she no longer saw us as a couple cut me to the core. As soon as I got home, I threw my keys on the counter and sat on the couch for a moment, trying to collect my thoughts. Lilian needed space, and I would do whatever it took to give her that. But giving up on her? Never. After a few minutes, I went up to my room. All I wanted was a hot shower and the chance to erase this day from my mind, even if just for a few hours. But as soon as I pushed the door open, I stopped in place, my entire body tense. "Kate?" My voice was low, but filled with disbelief. She was lying on my bed, wearing nothing but red lace lingerie, clearly waiting for me. His smile was calculated, almost predatory. "Hi, Jensen," she said, her voice
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 131. Rome's shadow
Lilian POVThe garden was silent, but my mind was anything but. Jensen was sitting next to me, visibly excited today after my talk with Finn."Good God, that guy doesn't get real, right," he was commenting. "Why doesn't he realize straight away that he's never going to have anything to do with you? You don't even like him, he acts desperate, he even went so far as to lie that he was the father of the baby you're expecting. See if he can do that!" He laughed with a shrug, as if he finally felt like he had the upper hand now."Well, you've also done a lot of crazy things to be able to be with me," I reminded him. Jensen wasn't innocent, right? He had done so much to have me in his control. I still vaguely remembered Rustburg...He was giggling awkwardly now. "You're right, Lilie. I did a lot, yes, but it was all because I always knew you loved me, that's why you never gave up." He looked at me with a charming smile. "That's why to this day I don't give up on you."I sighed, feeling the
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 130. Was it really to protect me?
Lilian POVAfter the children left for school, the house became calmer, but no less tense. Jensen went to the living room, playing on his cell phone, while Finn remained in the kitchen, finishing his coffee. I knew that conversation with Finn couldn't be postponed. The time was now. I took a deep breath before calling him, “Finn, we need to talk. Can it be in private?” He looked up in surprise and hesitated for a moment, but then nodded. “Of course, Lilian.” I led him to the back garden, where the fresh air helped calm my nerves. I leaned against the porch railing as he stood a few steps away, hands in his pockets. “Finn,” I began, choosing my words carefully. “I want to understand why you lied to Jensen about the baby. Why did you say you are the father?” He looked away, clearly uncomfortable. He ran his hand through his hair before answering. “Lilian, I did this to protect you.” "Protect?" My voice was louder than I intended, and I crossed my arms, trying to remain calm.
